It has been a long time since I had this classic beer. It will not be as long till the next time. Great beer!

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Very dark brown with a light brown head and great lacing. Fragrant chocolate and licorice smell with these flavors carrying to the taste. Dark berries and just slightly boozy. Loved it!

i've never given ol samuel enough attention. big bottle into a snifter, this beers a deep, murky brown, eating up light. big brown head went down to a nice thin cap. really heavy lacing. nose is full of chocolate, nice and dark, with a dark fruit background and toast thats almost burnt. taste starts off real sweet and then leaves bitter. lots of chocolate and hints of coffee blend with raisin bread and a distinct earthiness. real nice stuff. drinks a bitter thinner than i want but still medium to full bodied and smooth. i'll stop walking by these at the store now

I am getting bittersweet chocolate. slight coffee, raisins, dates. The dark fruit notes were not as big as others have said they would be which is a good thing at least for me it is. It is a good RIS but not as flavorful as some others that I have had. Cheers! A-
